I'm also dissapointed that Time Machine won't work with Airport Disks. Early on, Apple had indicated this would be the case, then suddenly Airport support was removed.

There was a workaround on one of the *many* forums I've been reading through (with my mouth hanging open as I read through all of the problems people are having...and as I get ready to drive 150 miles to the Apple store in Albuquerque to buy a copy of Leopard anyway ). It was something like get TM to use the disk through a USB cable, then create a file with a specific name *somewhere*, hook the drive to the base station and you're all set. It was really simple, but I don't have ay of the parts so I wasn't paying too much attention. MaxFixIt? MacOSXHints? Someplace like that.

They may have pulled it out because an iterruption to the network connection (airport connections never drop randomly. Do they!?) could scramble your whole backup disk...or something like that. As a programmer I could see something like that happening. I'm sure it'll be back. They're letting 3rd party apps on iPhones, ain't they?

Maybe Leopard is really checking the permissions now and Tiger was just playing a game or two of solitaire.

Funny, I thought about that. I'm still leaning on the side of this being an issue. 10.5.1 anyone?

I have another machine to upgrade today. I have deliberately avoided installing the Apple Remote Desktop Client update. I suspect that this update has done something to the catalog. I'll try a repair permissions on this ARDAgent free machine to see if it works any better and I will report back here._________________Mac Pro Quad 2.66GHz, PowerMac G5 2.3 GHz, iMac Core Duo 17", MacBook Pro 2GHz, MacBook Pro 2.2GHz, Mac mini Core 2 Duo 1.83GHz.

I have seen a few workarounds, but I have not tried any of them yet. It is rumored that Apple is still working on this feature and that it may still make an appearance in a future update. I sure hope so after all the hyping of this feature that Apple created._________________Mac Pro Quad 2.66GHz, PowerMac G5 2.3 GHz, iMac Core Duo 17", MacBook Pro 2GHz, MacBook Pro 2.2GHz, Mac mini Core 2 Duo 1.83GHz.

Well I upgraded the machine and ran the Repair Permissions without the ARDAgent update installed. The result, the repair still took for ever, the only difference was that there were not any errors pointing to the ARDAgent. Oh well, I bet Apple will get to fixing this slow repair issue fairly quickly._________________Mac Pro Quad 2.66GHz, PowerMac G5 2.3 GHz, iMac Core Duo 17", MacBook Pro 2GHz, MacBook Pro 2.2GHz, Mac mini Core 2 Duo 1.83GHz.

I don't care much for the new system folders. The blues just bend all together. It's hard to tell them apart. Quick Look on the other hand is fantastic. My spacebar is going to get some workout over the next few years. I also like a lot of the new features in Mail. I was thinking about switching to Firebird, but this new version put an end to that.

As I had a busy weekend and were not able to do much with computers in general and Mac specific, I will buy my new Mini with Leopard coming week. Does anyone who just bought a new Mac know, if it comes with a dedicated Leopard (in my case: specially meant for the Mac Mini) like one had with former Mac's? ____________________________________Jimę

hi
sorry if this post is in the wrong part of this forum. However i am concerned that my mac mini which is 1.83Ghz intel core duo and has only 512MB and 80GIG ram, will slow down because of the leopard? should i be worried and get more memory instead of 512 get 1GIG, or should i notice no slowness of speed compared to my current os x tiger operating system.
